Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My concern is not about my car. My complaint is about the type of bright blue/white headlamps (halogen?) that I see with increasing frequency. I do a lot of highway driving, and whether in the city or in less well lit areas. When a car with these headlights approaches me the effect is like having flashbulbs go off in front of my eyes. I'm literally blinded and instantly become a compromised driver. The effect is only somewhat diminished when a car with these headlamps is behind me. I can switch my rearview mirror to night but can't do much about the sideview mirrors. …”
